Fire/Explosion Hazards; Pressure Relief Procedure - Binks 4.5:1 EXEL-AFP Manual De Instrucciones

NOTE
Ground Wire Kit is included!
Use Binks Ground Wire Kit #41-13021
GROUNDING THE PUMP
Installation of the ground wire attachment to a metallic
portion of the pump must ensure a secure metal-to-metal
contact. The ground wire must be 12 gauge minimum.
A clamp must be attached to a true earth ground and an
instrument test must be done to verify a ground.
Mounting/grounding is the user's responsibility
SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS
The Exel Pump has no exposed moving parts that can
create possible hazards to personnel. However, there are
some safety points to consider:
1. Exhausting air from a motor cycling with the mufflers
removed can exceed OSHA limits. Thus, never operate
the pump without proper muffling.
To reduce the risk of serious bodily injury from moving parts, fluid injection, and
splashing in the eyes or on the skin, always follow this procedure whenever the
pump is shut off; when checking, repairing, or servicing any part of the system;
when installing or charging spray nozzles; and whenever spraying is stopped.
1. Engage the spray gun safety latch or dispensing valve
lockout control.
2. Turn off the air supply.
3. Disengage the spray gun safety latch or dispensing
valve lockout control
4. Hold a metal part of the gun or valve firmly in contact
with a grounded metal (only) waste container. Now
trigger the gun to relieve fluid pressure.
If you have reason to suspect that the spray nozzle or hose is clogged or that
all residual pressure cannot be fully relieved after following the above steps,
VERY SLOWLY, loosen the hose end coupling with a wrench and relieve pressure
gradually, then loosen completely. If the nozzle or hose obstruction cannot be
cleared completely, or is suspect, replace the nozzle or hose. Do not reuse.

WARNING
!
IMPORTANT
2. Never attempt to loosen or remove fluid hoses, or to
disassemble the pump without first performing the
pressure relief procedure described below.
3. Never perform any disassembly procedure unless the
air motor air supply has been turned off, the residual air
has been exhausted, and the pressure in the air motor
has been vented. Should air pressure remain within the
motor chamber, the motor could cycle at any time.
4. If the manifold is not in place, keep hands and fingers
clear of the pump manifold fluid inlet and the individual
inlets. The powerful suction can cause serious bodily
injury, and any breaks in the skin can allow exposure
to the chemicals in the formulation being pumped.
5. Pressure relief procedure must be followed whenever
the pump is shut off for cleaning, servicing, or repair-
ing any part of the air or fluid system. This includes
removing/installing or cleaning spray gun tips or nozzles.
5. Engage spray gun safety latch again.
6. Open the pump drain valve (required in system); use
the container to capture the drainage.
7. Allow the drain valve to remain open until you are
ready to spray again.
